    I think being armed with a non-concealed firearm is explicitly a threat. I think it’s a tactic used egregiously by our enemies and I don’t think it’s particularly effective. I don’t think the ICE is worried that killing you in cold blood is illegal, they generally don’t follow the laws in the first place.

      I would assume you would bring a concealed weapon to a peaceful protest for the purpose of self-defense. 😄

      Bring a rifle and slinging it on your back would definitely be a provocation/instigation lol

        The other user(s) in this comment section is saying they want everyone to bring rifles. For all I know it’s all just Deceptichum’s alt accounts, maybe a couple Russian trolls, but I’m arguing with those people about a completely different subject than what you’re talking about.

          Alright. I think you and I mostly agree around our topic though, I guess.
